Skin Products - Oily Skin

I was requested to do a recommendation on skin products for oily skin. Unfortunately because I have dry skin, this is not based on my personal use but more on a general 'what Ive heard' kinda of thing. Try it out and let me know if it works for you and for those of you who have recommendations please share with us as well. :) These products are both drug store products.

Skin cleanser/mask - Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2 in 1

This is one Ive heard about on youTube a lot. It's 2 in 1 meaning you can use it for a cleanser and if you leave it on for a bit longer before rinsing it off, it works as a face mask. Its good for oily skin and those prone to breakouts. Unfortunately this isn't available in Brunei. If you wanna give this a try let me know and I can try and get it for you. Actually Ive heard a lot about Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleanser as well which is oil free so that's worth checking out as well.

St Ives Apricot Scrub

This is a great scrub that is available in Brunei both in Guardian and Winmark and they have many types for different skin types. I do recommend exfoliating at least once to twice a week to get rid of any dead skin cells and to help maintain clean pores. This will help with all types of skin.

Apart from these it does depend on yourself individually most of all. Like for some people brands like the Body Shop work for them however for me my skin has an allergic reation so not everything that works for other people is going to work for you.

Most importantly, you really need to know what skin type you have. To know what type of skin you really do have, this is a good test. Wash your face with your facial wash, dry it and then leave it like that for about 5 minutes. Does your skin feel tight? Then you have dry skin like me. If you dont moisturise your face properly, your face will produce oil to compensate for the dehydration so that's one thing to keep in mind.

If you have oily skin make sure to use oil-free products only for your face as well.

For higher end brands I do recommend Dermalogica! Its a great brand and if you go for face mapping they can help you find the best products for your face. It is a bit pricey but I do believe in the long run it is worth it. I believe there are a few places in Brunei that do have Dermalogica products, there's one in Kiulap (not too sure where) and there's one in Gadong (same row with Pizza Hut).

Sorry guys that's all I can share, hope that helps! :)
